If you’re like me, you probably find yourself having to count all of the money you made last year. And they are big numbers. Billions even. Obviously. There’s a lot of money to be made in teaching.

But what if you want to count all that money in Swedish? Have no fear. Below I’ve included a vocab list with some of the words you’ll need to just keep counting.

A few things to keep in mind:

Sweden (and plenty of other countries) separates their numbers with decimal points, not commas. So a mile is 5,280 feet in English, but 5.280 feet in Swedish. But what if you have to drive ten and a half miles? 10.5 in English, right? 10,5 in Swedish.

Swedish numbers tend to be written as compound words, but do not have to be. I’ll be honest, I don’t have a good answer here (if you have a good citation, please write in the comments below!). Depending on which grammar book you consult, you’ll get conflicting results. Some places separate the words with each comma/decimal: 20,777 = tjugotusen sjuhundrasjutiosju. Others don’t. Chances are, you shouldn’t actually use words to write out these numbers anyway.

Once you get to those big numbers, things change a bit. One million is en miljon. But two million is två miljoner. Make sure to add that –er when you get that high. Fem miljoner, sex miljarder, sju biljarder. You get the idea.

Also, those big numbers? They don’t follow the same pattern as we use here in the United States. Sweden uses the long scale for naming those big numbers so en miljard means one billion, but en biljon means one trillion.

Finally, here are the numbers:
